Thank you for visiting my page.

In April 2023 I will be trying to complete 1 Million steps! This will be done through a combination of walking to work (11 mile round trip), weekend hikes, walking dog, playing football with Braydan, jogging and generally moving a lot!!

It works out around 35,000 steps a day, 17 miles a day or 5/6 hours of walking a day. There will be (I hope!) some big 40,000 plus step days, but also some less I'd guess, but few, if any under 22,000 - 25,000. I will log it daily on my FitBit and upload the steps to social media each day. Longer walks I will log on Strava etc. I have am active in general, I average about 14,000 steps a day over the last 3/4 years and cycle around 300 miles a month but this will be next level, finding the time with still working etc will be the real challenge. I have chosen April 2023 to do this, I've been planning this for the last few months, April has 5 weekends plus Easter so this Saturday its all systems go.

The reason? I'm trying to raise £1,500 + for Sarcoma UK a Cancer charity. Just over 4 years ago I lost my Step-Dad to a type of this Cancer aged 49, from feeling ok in October 2018 he was only ill for around 6 weeks and when diagnosed with the form he had on November 9th, Rhabdomyosarcoma, it was too late to start treatment and he passed away in December 2018. This is an exceptionally rare and aggressive cancer that needs more research.

In 2020 me, my Mum and sister raised over £6,000 doing a Skydive for charity, this isn't quite as scary, but might just be a bit more tiring!! Any donation is hugely appreciated and the money goes directly to the charity as soon as you donate, also please use GiftAid if the option is there, this adds an extra 25% at no extra cost to yourself, it comes from the Tax paid and is vital for lots of charities, adding millions to there funds each year.

Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep our Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.

Thank you for your support, Dwayne
